Playing cassettes

You can use this video recorder to play back recorded VHS video cassettes. You can operate the video recorder using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the video recorder.

What does VHS mean?

'Video Home System' (VHS) has become the world-wide standard for the playback and recording of amateur video cassettes. This popular standard continues to be improved. Super VHS (S-VHS) provides a sharper picture and less noise. Digital VHS (D-VHS) works with digital picture and sound signals. Your video recorder can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.
